@Ellie I did a strip ovulation Friday AM and it was near enough same as test line so did a clear blue and got the static smiley. I took the test strip out the holder and binned it. Then next day did another clear blue and got a static smiley again. I did another test sunday and just got a circle x
@Victoria oh okay. The static smiley should automatically stay on the screen for 48 hours regardless on if you take the strip out or not so I’m not sure why it didn’t x
@Ellie ohh reallyy! No it went off so i did another one the next day to check again. No wonder there was another smiley then 😂
@Ellie i used the pink one which is 2 most fertile days.. are the purple ones which show 4 most fertile days the better ones? Im new to this so pretty clueless and wanna give myself the best chance 🙈 xx
@Victoria ah ok, I’m thinking of the purple ones. I got pregnant from the purple ones x
This looks very good to me. Looks like you gave yourself several good chances.
@Taylor thanks! Its all fairly new to me and it feels very confusing at times. Test was negative today (clearlblue 6 day early) but had cramps yesterday and today. Probably not worked this cycle which is disheartening but we will try again ☺️ x
And btw you have a period that 3 days long??? Girl what???♥️🤣🤣
@Holly haha yeah! Usually 4 days but this one was short 🙈 x
@Victoria was it heavy?? , implantion bleeding could be up to 1-3 days ...maybe take a pregnancy test 😏
@Holly no that was my actual period 🥺😂and i baby danced the week after when i was ovulating. Due on my period this weekend and the test today was negative. Im still only 8DPO though so suppose theres still a slight chance x
@Victoria there’s more than a slight chance, there’s as good a chance as when you ticked all your boxes. It’s early days girl.
@Yog i hope soo! I feel disheartened because i did a digital clearblue this morning, the one where its meant to show 6 days before your period and it was negativee 🥺 i hope theres still timee. Iv had cramps todayy and its too early for period pains x
@Victoria you read on many posts here first response digital is where it’s at. I wouldn’t have got a BFP on a clear blue when FRER was showing positive. 8dpo is so early xx

@Yog Oh reallyy, i will order some first response ones! Yeah i keep saying 8DPO is still early so holding onto a slight bit of hope 🤞🏼 x
Yes you’ve given yourself a good chance! In case this isn’t your month, for next time try and baby dance on the peak day AND ovulation day (could have been 20th or 21st I guess) to maximise your chances even more x
You’ve done all the right things on all the right days! Just remember it can take a while (it took me 18 months to conceive), and don’t lose heart if it doesn’t happen straight away x
@Sarah yeah i think ovulation on flo was 21st and i got empty circle on clear blue test on that day tooo. Deffo gonna try every single day next time if im not lucky enough this month ☺️x
@Kayleigh thankyou! ❤️ yeah its hard not to get disheartened but i know it can take a while. Just hoping were one of the lucky ones ☺️ x
@Holly, my period is only 3 days, too. And the third day is relatively light. I've been trying to figure out if that's bad. What I've seen mostly says that's fine/within a normal range.
@Taylor mine can be up to 12 days long 😭♥️♥️🤣
@Holly oh wow. I'm sorry. That sounds terrible.
Ive got slight cramps today, and my discharge is darker than normal, id say light brown. I hope this isnt an early period as not due on till Saturday. Could it be implantation bleeding? Im 10DPO and testing negative 🥺x
Possibly, but really is just a case of wait and see. Symptoms spotting is a killer,take it from someone who knows 🤣 try and relax, give it another couple of days and make sure you’re using really sensitive tests. Good luck
When you say it was a smiley on both days, just checking that you mean a static smiley and not a flashing one? Once you get the static smiley it stays there automatically for 48 hours so assuming you didn’t actually do an ovulation test on the 20th?
